thanks to all, who posted there tutorials.
just like to say this is getting BORING… the whole screen cast battle thing. Can we have some traditional tuts and articles back please.
@NETTUTS said back to written tuts next week!
Their are plenty of other tutorial sites offering traditional style tutorials and articles. I give nettuts props for offering their users to contribute to the site through these short and quick tuts. I would rather watch a 5 minute screencast and learn something small then read a 30 minute tut that I have no real world use for.
Thanks to all the submitters for their time and knowledge!
When does the voting stop? I was posted on the 1st day & the voting is exhausting
Vote #3 “Jump-starting your Next jQuery Plugin” http://j.mp/14rCxA
Voting ends Monday at 12:00 AM (US Central Time).
Good to know… thnx Jeff
Are you then picking the grand winner from there or is there a public vote off for from the top 5?
Once we have the top five. About five members of the Envato staff will then rank them.
progressive enhancement ftw
some great tutorials.
has anyone compiled a list of all of them (not just the ones being voted on but all the rest as well)? screenr sure does not give a very good way to reference ones you might be interested in, doing a word search is not so good when you have no idea what topics might be covered on screenr

twitter.com/nettuts/favorites
I guess that works if people still put #nettuts in the title, otherwise not. I have had a problem with getting to the second page of entries when I used that link, have waited for some time but usually no go.
thanks Jeff, when are you off to Aussie land?
Al
Hey Al – me too. Twitter needs to fix that. For now, simply disable JavaScript, and then click on the “More” link to view the rest.
The Australia move was put on hold because of Visa reasons. It’s actually REALLY difficult to get into the country.
Maybe one day…
thanks for the fix, will try it out, and good luck with the Aussie thing. really like what you are doing here on Net Tuts and TF regardless of where you are hanging your hat
Al
Out of interest, how many entries did you pick these 25 screencasts from? I guess about 100 or so from the favorites link?
I like the #4 Adding Captions to Images with JQuery. Altho I would say that the div won’t resize smaller for smaller images. Therefore there will be a big visible div around the picture and the span will appear beside the pic instead of below because of this.
Is there a way to resize the div depending of the size of the image, rather than actually entering the width into the css as this would make it only useful if all images were the same size??
Altho it is a good screencast apart from this.
But he doesn’t use caching, shortcuts and could definitively chain better.
i’ll give my vote to 2. Create Private Pages on a WordPress Site. It may be a subjective choice, but it satifies my needs.
I Like this one too… one question though – How can we limit just the user to see his menu item, and not show it all to all even though they can’t access… sometimes the client list itself is something you want to be private too.
Progressive enhancement with JavaScript is great! I learned some nice tricks from that one. It has my vote.
All of them are great though without a doubt. Good work to all of you.
YQL is really innovative, so i voted for that.
Codeigniter tutorial is great too
Thankyou everybody for these videos
i’ll give my vote to number 1. Codeigniter…
Thank you.
If people are interested, I can also post a screencast showing how to add Doctrine to Codeigniter.
#4 is a nice effect. Thanks for the quick videos.
